He's locked up in his tower working on some new potions:

Maybe he's being saved for the special games. Best not to water down his magic on the Crapital Bunkup or whatever it's called this season. | | | |

He was on the pitch at the very end of the Spurs game putting an arm round Barton and Traore. | | | |

The idiotic wittering for most pre-season by posters on this board about how Steve Black was going to 'get the payers head' straight drove me up the wall. I remember some simpleton even saying he'd sort out Adel! Now that is a laugh.
Never been a bigger load of rubbish that sports psychology. | |

He's been replaced by Eileen. | | | |

Or perhaps waiting at the top of Saruman's tower for some passing eagles to rescue him? There are many dark forces at work in the Premiership. | |

Remember back in 87 we were top of the first division.
We then brought in a sports phycologist for QED and promptly went on a losing run | |

remember last year, when we were on a losing run and brought in Steve Black, then the team galvenised itself and won the playoffs? | |

It looks as though our kaizen is out of alignment with our karma, so some fine-tuning might be needed. | |

"Never been a bigger load of rubbish that sports psychology."
Try telling that to the GB track cycling team and SKY cycling team. Years of total domination in the sport with a lot of the credit going to sports psychologists.
Football players unfortunately would have to turn their thoughts away from what Bentley to buy next in order to absorb and utilize the very effective skills sports psychologists can provide. | | | |

Ying and Yang are incoming (although Ying is only a loan deal and Yang is suspended for the first few games) | |

I think that had more to do with Austin coming back from Injury. | | | |

Doesn't work on wealthy pampered footballers. Try telling a footballer that he is doing something wrong when 50k is going to be deposited into his bank account every week for 3/4 years, he has no mortgage and is set for life. | | | |

Although Hoddle is supposed to have fallen out with Beckham when Hoddle said 'That's not how you take a free kick son', someone needs to say to Barton 'That's not how you take a corner son'. | |

Nope, but (sport psychology) history will tell you that those small margins can make a/the difference.
Fu@k knows what Steve Blacks background/credentials are but I think there is a little more to it than just mumbo-jumbo.... | | | |

Cycling and football are not comparable.
We win and we lose irrespective of Steve Black.
When we were promoted under Warnock, as champions, he wasn't at the club. | |

Yes, putting aside the jovial comments, I think focus and team work are vital at this level.
Working in sales, I regularly have to 'pitch' for work. If I have a bad run, it's sometimes difficult to see where the next sale is coming from. You lose confidence and your mindset becomes negative before you even start. It's a hard cycle to break sometimes, and it includes being self-critical to find out what could have been done better.
Sure, a lot of this comes from analysing the last game with the coaching staff and working one to one with players, but having your head straight and being totally focused and confident will help enormously. Fine margins, and all that.
I know someone will probably pipe up now and ask why we haven't won yet...
The bottom line is that I think we're still having our pre-season and seeing what formation works best. Based on the Kaizen principle, a goal would be a start (a clean sheet would be even better). | |

I think they are comparable within this discussion. They are both competitive sports using top athletes in their professions (SWP excluded).
I'm not saying this Steve Black fella is all he's cracked up to be by Joey and Harry. All I'm saying is there is prof that sports psychologists can improve performances in top level sport.
Just saying.... | | | |

They are not because our players are guaranteed huge sums of money even when they don't perform.
Take SWP for instance even though he has been shit for years, he will probably be offered a lucrative contract in the American League.
In football players are pampered and are wealthy from an early age without even playing for a top club. In other sports individuals have to find sponsors, have a job to finance their career etc to stand a chance of competing in sports with less openings. | | | |
